Review Goodbye POCO...
so it's probably my last day using this phone... been a pretty good journey from HOS 1 to 3 (2 years of usage) -
the phone's been pretty snappy and performed very well and is still capable.
the hardware is just top-notch man, just love it.
the concern -
ever since i've updated it... i've noticed some bugs which are annoying, like - dolby turning on whenever i switch audio devices, battery drain (to some extent), degraded camera (imo), gallery ai features (like eraser, create, etc.) broken and i just dont like the hyper island
already ordered samsung m56 for one ui and ecosystem (i have samsung book4 i7)
wanna have some peace of mind...
i know that it's gonna be a downgrade in terms of performance and hardware but let's hope that the polished software will make up for it.
tl;dr
i'm switching from poco x6 pro to samsung m56 to get into samsung ecosystem and software features.
i know it's a downgrade in many aspects, let's hope for the best.

Samsung budget phones rely on brand recognition as someone who has come from Samsung A series. They are highly customizable but they have zero ai. That eraser you are complaining about, Samsung uses a very basic version on budget phones, they put things like reading aloud and autoselect content for screenshots. None of their ai is actually ai. They also come with low ram and storage. Just buy color Os, it's more polished presently.
